Ace of Pentacles - Step through the Gate
A radiating hand emerges from a cloud holding a large gold pentacle coin. The sky is light grey and clear. There is a blooming garden and flowering hedge underneath it with an arched arbour. A golden path leads up to the arch through which you can see glimpses of mountain peaks.
Ace of Pentacles from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot
I have to admit that the Ace of Pentacles is one of my favourite cards of the whole tarot. I had a dream a few weeks ago, that when I woke reminded me of this card. My husband and I were walking around an old vacant lot – turned empty dilapidated car park. In one part of the dream I see a glint of gold on the ground amongst the stones and broken bitumen. I point to it, knowing what it was, to tell my husband so he could get it. When he brought to me, and as I knew, it was a gold coin.
All the Aces in the tarot hold so much magic, at least I see it that way. In each one, a hands emerges from a cloud, with an offering ! C’mon, that's some mystical happening. The hand emerging from thin air suggests it’s an unexpected gift from the universe. What will I do with this giant gold coin that’s been handed to me? for no other reason except you were walking in the beautiful garden when it happened. Right place, right time.
As you receive a blessing like this pentacle from the spirit world, can you allow your imagination to soar and dream the moment forward?
Will I put it in my pocket and save it for later?
Will I invest it in something that I’ve had my eye on?
Or ... Will I even take it?.... I know it seems like a no-brainer, but I KNOW that there are plenty of us that might walk straight past, step over, even run from opportunities that are put in front of us. Out of suspicion, confusion, fear, even shame and unworthiness.
There’s also magic in the potential energy symbolic of the Ace’s as 1’s - the beginning of something. The possibility of what could be, can feel magical and full of wonder. Being a pentacle those possibilities become about the material world including the grounding domains of money, work, your body and nature.
What is a new opportunity in my daily life for renewed joy, security and spiritual wellbeing?
What gifts are present in my everyday and ordinary life of work, nature and physical health and wellbeing?
Is there a seed idea or venture that I can nurture in my work, home life or health.
The garden scene itself shows you how to do. It seems like a natural movement to receive the coin with grace, and walk with it along the path and through the other side of the garden hedge. The arbour acting like a gate to the wider world. Among other happenings in my dream I saw it as a reminder that treasure can be found anywhere anytime. Take notice. Take the opportunity in front of you, and take those first steps beyond the cloistered safety of your Eden. Time to materialise your ideas.
Much love
